Emergent BioSolutions is a global life sciences company focused on providing preparedness and response solutions for public health threats. The Lansing, Michigan facility, operating as Emergent Biodefense Operations Lansing, is a critical manufacturing site responsible for the production of BioThrax, the only FDA-licensed vaccine for anthrax prevention. The company's portfolio also includes the opioid overdose reversal agent Narcan and vaccines for smallpox, cholera, and typhoid.
